Tim riffs on companies marketing autumn and pumpkin products while civil unrest, wildfires, and COVID chaos continue in the background, mocking the disconnect between cheerful fall branding and societal collapse.
- Companies market fall products despite the world falling apart, everyone still into autumn anyway.
- The crisp smell in the air comes from fires burning homes in Oregon and people burning down courthouses.
- Tim on returning to normalcy through pumpkin spice lattes while things remain batshit crazy.
- Quarantine ending and not ending simultaneously, with unpredictable lockdowns in parts of New York.
- Locking down hospitals in areas with more COVID cases raises questions about targeting specific populations.
- Hasidic and Orthodox Jews in New York are done with restrictions and want to go back to normal.
